Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields

Chapter 211: Underground Shelter


New fragment, underground passage of the parking lot.

"Boss, isn't this a bit risky?"

"Don't worry, if things change, we can directly teleport to Lille."

"Yes, boss!"

Just a few minutes ago, Lin Yi checked out the fragment of this new spot and was very satisfied.

This is a genuine underground city!

The inhabitants have reached a development level similar to Earth, but their technology is slightly different.

He counted roughly 2,000 people in the city, with 600 soldiers among them.

The only shortcoming is that their weapons are very primitive.

By Earth's standards, they are still stuck in the late 1940s.

Their guns are ineffective against third-class armor, let alone fourth-class equipment...

The Black Boss was extremely nervous.

He saw a man wearing futuristic-style armor, his helmet completely covering his face, climbing down along with a stone man.

They didn't carry any weapons...

"Stop! Who are you?!"

"Solomon, we always hear this question, I'm telling you, not a bit of creativity..."

The two stood there, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, their nonchalant attitude making the Black Boss and the soldiers even tenser.

Lin Yi sized them up.

This squad was fully armed, equipped with assault rifles that looked much like Sweden's Interpower MKR rifles, and a considerable number of grenades.

They wore primitive bulletproof vests, gas masks, sunglasses, and earmuffs to guard against flashbangs.

Lin Yi's voice was loud: "Who is in charge here?"

"I'm in charge of security, please tell us your name."

An armed personnel cautiously stepped forward.

Lin Yi's helmet retracted into his armor, revealing a stern Asian face.

"Lin Yi."

"He's Asian?! Impossible! How could such a savage have that kind of equipment?!"

A soldier murmured, obviously, all other soldiers shared the same thought.

"I'm Agdamdur Susin." The security chief said, taking off his sunglasses and gas mask.

To Lin Yi, he looked like an ordinary African man, with dark skin, a broad nose, and dark eyes.

"I'm not the leader; I'm one of the persons in charge. Our supreme ruler, President Bigmir Lur, is watching our conversation through those cameras."

"Alright, I won't waste time then. Your world has already been destroyed. I discovered this place.

You have only two choices: remain on this land and wait to die, or become my subjects and fully obey me. After you decide, inform the people by the wall.

But if you invade my place, kill without mercy!

By the way, if you become my subjects, you all must work, the President included. There is no free lunch, understand?

Alright, good luck."

Lin Yi finished speaking and disappeared with his stone assistant, leaving all the soldiers shocked.

"Work for an Oriental?! Never! Impossible! I'd rather die!"

The soldiers shouted, most others echoing the sentiment.

In their world, Asians and Whites were third-class citizens living in tribes, using grass for toilet paper, and running naked through the forests.

"One squad, follow me. Others, stay alert!"

Agdamdur ignored the soldiers' foolish conversation and led his team to the surface.

Then, a soldier asked the Black Boss, "Where do you think that monster went? What if it's still around?"

"Then we're doomed, but I think... it's quite likely to have been slain by that Asian." Agdamdur said frankly.

The squad climbed the ladder and found themselves in a large tunnel.

"Damn... All equipment is destroyed... That monster is truly hateful."

This tunnel used to be home to their nation's most advanced technology but has now become a pile of junk.

"Look behind you, without that hole, we would never get out..."

The soldiers turned around and saw a wall of mist.

Agdamdur whispered, "Let's keep moving, but don't relax your guard!"

The squad continued forward.

They finally exited the tunnel and saw the giant monster's corpse, or at least its remains...

Saying the place stank was an understatement.

The stench made one's eyes sting.

Two hours had passed since the monster had been slain.

It had turned into a slimy mess, congealed under the summer sun, and started to rot.

Where did the sun come from? Weren't they at the bottom of the underground parking lot?

The answer was simple—Lin Yi took the underground parking lot along, leaving only the ladder.

Now, there was a big pit and a ladder...

Some soldiers stayed behind to guard the tunnel, while others climbed to the city above, only to sink into despair—

The people's city had become a wasteland!

Cars melted, buildings destroyed, trees burned to ashes...

Just like the apocalypse, no! It is the apocalypse!

They circled the entire fragment and found the wall that strange Asian had mentioned...

When they saw that wall, they couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, trembling—

It was a 25-meter-high reinforced concrete wall, with many trap pits in front and a dry moat.

From the countless firing ports for infantry and machine guns, it was obvious that a large number of soldiers were stationed on or within the wall.

They did not heed the warning from the Asian man and didn't dare approach the wall, but returned to the underground shelter.

...

"Boss, why did we just leave like that?"

"I'm not a tyrant; should I have killed them? People have the right to decide how to live their lives... Besides, their underground shelter won't run away, hehe."

Lin Yi poured himself a cup of tea while asking, "Have you tried the crossbow and the nail-headed hammer?"

"Boss, I've tried them! The crossbow's firing rate and reload time aren't ideal, but the soldiers prefer the nail-headed hammer. It can smash a zombie's head with one blow; it's somewhat more effective than the one-handed sword," Solomon replied honestly.

They were accustomed to using top-tier equipment, so arming the shelter's army with level 1 equipment wasn't very attractive.

"It seems we should either sell them or keep fusing them. Let's hold onto them for now... Who knows what they might be useful for later?"

There were a few hours left until sunset.

Lin Yi returned to the treasure room.

He wanted to see what other system equipment came out from the Reward Egg.

At the moment, he was holding a submachine gun, with an extremely satisfied expression on his face, reading its description.

[Level 3 Submachine Gun]

A next-generation firearm with high firing speed, low recoil, and high precision.

Its advanced modular design allows for modification and can use larger capacity magazines, with specifications of 30, 60, or 90 rounds.

It has three firing modes. It's recommended to aim at the enemy before shooting.

Hidden attributes detected:

[Attack Power: 18]

This submachine gun is an upgraded version of a pistol.

Its damage is lower, but the firing speed and modifiability make up for this shortcoming.

Next is a level 3 mechanical crossbow, with an attack power of 23, and has a replaceable magazine that significantly increases its firing speed.

However, it uses shortened metal crossbow arrows instead of arrows, which reduces the range to 130 yards.

But it can shoot four crossbow arrows per second, which compensates for the shortcoming in range.

"What is this strange thing?"

Lin Yi held a small cube, each side of it with a shallow groove.

[Level 3 Universal Modular Weapon]

A next-generation universal modular weapon. All components except for the core can be replaced, thereby completely changing the weapon's performance.

"It's quite interesting..."

Lin Yi focused his attention on the cube, obtaining a wealth of information about it.

He could create hundreds of parts for it!

This cube could become an assault rifle, a revolver, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, or almost any other weapon.

But there's a problem: each component requires a significant amount of Magic Value and Coins.

He estimated that turning this cube into an assault rifle would cost about three thousand Coins.

Lin Yi put down the universal modular weapon and picked up a silver bow.

If ignoring the numerous runes covering the bow, it looks just like a modern compound bow.

Like an advanced level 2 bow, this bow can shoot three arrows at once.

Compared to a standard level 3 bow, this professional bow has an attack power of 20 and an effective range of 650 yards.

[Level 3 Elemental Mage Gloves]

Magic Skills +10, significantly enhancing the wearer's ability to control magical power.

Bonus to selected elements +20%.

Note: Elements can be changed by Weapon Smith.

[Level 3 Elemental Mage Staff]

Magic Skills +20.

Bonus to selected elements +30%.

[Note: Selected elements can be changed by Weapon Smith]

Compared to level 2 versions, these magical weapons haven't changed much, only becoming more powerful.

Next are level 3 melee weapons, a sword, and an axe.

The axe is now called a level 3 Modular Axe, its attack power increased to 24.

It can be modified, such as lengthening or shortening the handle, replacing the axe blade, or even adding another axe blade.

It can also be turned into a long spear!

The sword is called a level 3 Elemental Sword.

It looks like an ordinary level 3 weapon, but its blade is silver instead of black and can embed an Elemental Energy Core in the blade.

But currently, the warehouse only has one compatible core... it was obtained after killing the mutated Mother Bear King.

An Ice Element Core.

This sword's attack power is 20, two points lower than an ordinary level 3 sword, so it's temporarily of no value until more Elemental Cores are obtained in the shelter.

Lin Yi counted.

There were 41 submachine guns, 24 bows, 17 universal modular weapons, 30 crossbows, 17 axes, 38 relatively useless swords, 24 gloves, and 40 magic staffs.

The increase in the number of long-range weapons seems to be good news, particularly the 40 magic staffs.

Mages, who were already zombie-killing machines, will now at least increase their efficiency by 50%...
